Addressed Community Feedback

General

  • Store Search Bar:
    • We included within the Store tab in-game search bar, making it easier to find specific bundles
    • Its functionality is similar to the Inventory search bar
  • Server Admin controls for Custom Servers
    • Added the following configuration for Custom Servers:
      • Enable/Disable Seasonal Zeds
        • To apply the changes, add the following line to your batch file: "?SeasonalSkinsIndex=<NUMBER>"
        • SeasonalSkinsIndex=-1 -> not used
        • SeasonalSkinsIndex=0 -> Default
        • SeasonalSkinsIndex=1 -> Spring (Note No Seasonal Zed Variants Available with this index so will be the same as default)
        • SeasonalSkinsIndex=2 -> Summer Sideshow
        • SeasonalSkinsIndex=3 -> Halloween
        • SeasonalSkinsIndex=4 -> Christmas
  • SDK Updates and Modding Hooks
    • Two new modding hooks have been added for the community to use:
      • Addition of an “Enable Door” Kismet node
      • Now Elite Zeds can be replaced as well using Zed replacements
  • Survivalist Weapon List cleanup
    • The Survivalist weapon list within the trader was getting a bit too clogged, so now the trader will only show Survivalist Perk and Offperk-specific weapons while on that tab
      • This will affect inventory sorting per Perk as well

Balance

  • Weapons
    • Glock 18 and Riot Shield
      • Spread (default fire mode) from 0.06 to 0.045
    • FAMAS Masterkey
      • Buy price from 1200 to 1000
    • HRG Stunner
      • InstantHitDamage (default fire mode) from 60 to 80
  • Perks
    • Firebug - Firestorm
      • Increase ground fire duration a 20%
    • SWAT - Assault Armor
      • Now 50% of armor will be added at the beginning of each wave

Designer Notes:

With our balance tweaks, we aimed to polish up some of the remaining things the State of the Game survey showed as important.

The Glock on the Glock 18 and Riot Shield tandem was a bit scattered on its shot, something a SWAT cannot afford! The spread was reduced to make the gun a tad more reliable

The FAMAS is an interesting gun to play with, but couldn’t compete with high-tier shotguns. Reducing its price makes it a weapon available in earlier waves

The HRG Stunner needed a buff on its regular fire mode damage, so we applied it! Enjoy the carnage, Stunner fans.

Regarding the Firestorm perk Skill, it now makes the ground fire last for longer in addition to the fire spray weapons range increase. Firewall much?

Last but not least, the SWAT can now benefit from its Assault Armor each wave, not only at the beginning of the game.
